Driving the above normal outlook is a strong southwesterly flow that will develop ahead of a frontal boundary. The question is the timing of that frontal boundary.

If the front slides quickly toward the coast, it may not only bring warm temperatures but also the threat of storms sometime during the holiday weekend.
For the first couple of days of April, the normal high is in the upper 50s, while the normal low is in the lower 40s.
The warmest Easter ever in Central Park was 96 degrees, set back on April 18, 1976.
